PROFILING AND EVALUATION OF BACTERIAL CONSORTIA FOR EFFICIENT BIOGAS PRODUCTION IN SMALL SCALE BIODIGESTERS WITHIN UASIN-GISHU COUNTY
(University of Eldoret, 2022-06)Anaerobic digestion is a sequential biological activity that accepts the efficient capture of methane for energy production. The dependence on fossil and wood fuels as a primary energy source has led to multitudes of ... -
CELLULOLYTIC ACTIVITY AND DIVERSITY OF BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM THE WHOLE BODY OF (Macrotermes michaelseni) FROM NANDI AND VIHIGA COUNTY
(University of Eldoret, 2022-03)The accumulation of plant waste in the environment has increased recently since plants are not easily degraded. Consequently, there is a rising demand for efficient cellulolytic bacteria that can break done cellulose ... -
STATUS OF LEISHMANIA PARASITE SPECIES, SANDFLY VECTOR SPECIES AND RESERVOIR HOST SPECIES IN MT. ELGON, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2024-05)Leishmaniasis is a major public health problem experienced globally and is caused by parasite species of the genus Leishmania, transmitted through the bite of infected female phlebotomine sandfly. The current study determined ... -
On Norm of Elementary Operator: An Application of Stampfli’s Maximal Numerical Range
(Pure and Applied Mathematics Journal, 2018-03)Many researchers in operator theory have attempted to determine the relationship between the norm of an elementary operator of finite length and the norms of its coefficient operators. Various results have been obtained ... -
ON THE NORM OF JORDAN ELEMENTARY OPERATOR IN TENSOR PRODUCT OF C*-ALGEBRAS
(|INT Journal of Mathematics, 2024-06)The norm property of different types of Elementary operators has attracted a lot of researchers due to its wide range applications in functional analysis. From available literature the norm of Jordan elementary operator ... -
On The Norm of Finite Length Elementary Operator in Tensor Product of C*-Algebras
(International Journal of Mathematics and Computer Research, 2024-01)Many properties of Elementary operators, including spectrum, numerical ranges, compactness, rank, and norm have been studied in depth and some results have been obtained. However, little has been done in determining the ... -
On almost similarity results on partial isometrics, 𝛉- operators and posinormal operators
(International Journal of Statistics and Applied Mathematics, 2021-06)It is pre-eminent that equality of spectra is realized when the two given operators are unitarily equivalent or similar but not when they are almost similar. Also, projections which are 𝛼-almost similar, demonstrate ... -
ON CLASSIFICATION OF PERMUTATIONS
(Asia Pac Journal, 2020-03)Some researchers in combinatorics have developed permutation algorithms using different approaches. We contribute to this area by developing a formula for generating permutations whereby, starting with an identity ... -
On the Numerical Ranges
(International Journal of Scientific and Innovative Mathematical Research (IJSIMR), 2015-08)Properties of operators in a C*-algebra B(H) have been studied by many researchers in operator theory. This paper is an investigation of the numerical ranges of operators in B(H) . We show that zero is in the algebraic ... -
On the Norm of Elementary Operator
(Advances in Pure Mathematics, 2014-07)The norm of an elementary operator has been studied by many mathematicians. Varied results have been established especially on the lower bound of this norm. Here, we attempt the same problem for finite dimensional operators. -
On Norm of Elementary Operator of Length Two
(International Journal of Scientific and Innovative Mathematical Research (IJSIMR), 2017-06)Norms of elementary operators have been studied by many mathematicians. Varied results have been gotten using different approaches. In this paper we use maximal numerical range to express the norm of an elementary operator ... -
Cellulolytic activity of bacteria from the gut of termites (Macrotermes michaelseni) from Eldoret and Kakamega
(African Journal of Microbiology Research, 2021-10)Cellulose degrading bacteria in termites are important plant degraders as they play an essential role in digesting cellulose for termites. This study aimed to identify cellulose degrading bacteria in termites (Macrotermites ... -
